Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like you just can't hold on
Just hold on to my love
I'll help you be strong
But you're so afraid to lose
And baby I can't reach your heart
I can't face this world it's keeping us apart
Everything you missed before
Just hold on now
'Cause I could be the one to give you more
Anytime you need a love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one that can make it all right
Anytime you need a love baby you're in my heart
I could make it all right
I look into your eyes
And I feel it coming through
I can't help but want you more than I want to
So baby take our love your way
Cast them all on me
That's all I ever wanted was just to make you see
But I could be the one to heal you
All that you've been searching for
Just hold on to my love
And baby let me give you more
Anytime you need a love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one that can make it all right
Anytime you need a love baby you're in my heart
I could make it all right
Now there's no way out
And I can't help the way I feel
'Cause baby I'm on fire
And I'll be waiting right here
You know our love isn't real
Anytime you need a love baby I'm on your side
Just let me be the one that can make it all right
Anytime you need a love baby you're in my heart
I could make it all right

one of her more underrated songs!! She sings it so beautifully and with so much passion, you can feel it!!
Pedro Hartmann
Indeed, very underrated. A brazilian singer made a version of it and it was a HUGE sucess here.
Angelique Fireheart
I haven’t heard this song in such a long time. It’s still just as beautiful as I remember it. ❤

over ten years ago, and she still is going strong......man, that to me is a true American Idol in my eyes. And the best thing about it--it's all Kelly. The music is true to herself, not so mainstream that it makes you yawn and wince.
And the range this girls got! WOW!!!!!! Doesn't matter what genre she's in, she's really good at it!!
Cory Chapin
the only singer in the world who can pull off anything Mariah Carey-esque and do it real justice. This is very "Anytime you Need a Friend" but she does it so flawlessly. Gorgeous.

Mauro Gentile
